High/Low Speed Shifter
The high/low speed shifter is on the left side of the spindle housing. It selects
the spindle speed range.
Low speed range 0-1100 RPM
High speed range 0-2500 RPM
Never move this lever when the mill is turning. You might need to turn the
spindle slightly by hand as you move the high/low speed shifter to engage the
gears.
X-Axis Hand Wheel
The X-axis hand wheel moves the table to the left or right, depending on which
way it is turned. Use this hand wheel to position the table.
The dial on this handle indicates the relative position of the table. The
graduated dial can be repositioned for convenience. Each division of the dial
represents a movement of 0.001”.
On some mini mills there are 62.5 divisions on the dial. On these mills, each
full turn of the hand wheel moves the table 1/16” (0.0625”).
Other mini mills have 50 graduations on the dial. On these mills, each full turn
of the hand wheel moves the table 0.050”.
